It`s a funny thing is menopause – although I certainly didn`t think so at the time – but that` another story. There`s lots of information out there, but it`s spread all over the place and a lot of jargon is used.  Take spotting for instance, how do we know how much is normal? Why it happens? How long we can expect it to carry on for?

Let`s take what is normal and what is not—spotting throughout menopause being accepted as normal.

As we get closer to menopause, our periods become irregular anyway--due to fluctuating hormone levels and so identifying `spotting` is a little more difficult.  If you keep a menstrual diary, that should give you some indication of when your period is due. Although your periods may be irregular, you should still see a pattern forming, albeit a varied one! Any signs of blood spots between periods, may be a sign of something more serious and is certainly worth mentioning to your doctor. There may also be a perfectly innocent explanation, but it is still worth checking out.

Once you have gone through "the change" (lovely term) and had no periods for 12 months, it would also be worth seeking advice if you noticed any spotting after this time, because this really should not be happening. If spotting occurs during the 12 months, this is probably your body adjusting to the changes and you will have to start the count from that day.

Excessive spotting, which is when you are needing to change protection several times each day, should also be investigated.

You know your own body and so you must be the judge of what is `normal` and what needs further investigating. If you are in any doubt whatsoever, about any of your symptoms, make that appointment and consult with your doctor.
